51.8% of voters did not vote for Hillary. That's kind of a lot.

Even more didn't vote for Trump, though. That's how I would have phrased it.

But then, I don't think children should be dragged into politics. That constitutes child abuse in my opinion.

And yes, this is current news since it's making the viral rounds, and yes, it's politically oriented.

Someone will have to tell her the bad news about the Killer Klown from Outer Space landing and driving Obama away.

I tried to explain an election to one of my kids who was around that age.
It's far too complicated for their little heads.

Obviously the girl is being programmed at an early age.

He went to the golf course and the highly paid speech circuit, and will be publishing his memoirs in the future.

In 2008 my daughter was seven. I decided to take her with me to vote. Her mom was voting for McCain and her best friends mom was voting for Obama and all you heard about was McCain or Obama.

So I took her to the machine and showed her how it works. We went through the candidates and after we are done she says in a fairly loud kids voice "Who is Bob"?

I had voted Bob Barr for president.

In 2012 the local news was running down the results........."Romney got X%, Obama got X% with a few third party votes and one for (she starts chuckling) Vermine Supreme.

My wife says "OMG" as she knew that was me.

Last year my daughter told my wife "DO NOT VOTE FOR TRUMP". For the first time in her life my wife did not vote for a (R) for president. She would love to see a female president.......so she voted Stein along with me.

Yes, you are exactly right.

I was quite a fan of Star Trek Next Generation and some of the spinoffs. At the time, as with the movie Idiocracy, I didn't realize how prophetic parts of it would be. Recall the "Borg"? This little girl is like the Borg individual who was "cut off from the collective" and was entirely lost and confused. Half the folks in the nation are disconnected Borg right now. Some will recover and have meaningful lives. Others... well, others, you read about in the news each day.

Beat me to it. I was going to say he went on a World Golfing Tour. (That actually sounds pretty cool.)
